Windows

The Windows menu includes any existing non-shrunk top-level windows
that are in the IDE, which means, owned by the invisible main IDE
owner window (which is the value of (development-main-window
*system*)) and which are not otherwise accessible from the
IDE menubar without causing other side effects.

Choosing an item from this menu exposes the window and gives it the
keyboard focus. A window may be selected with the keyboard by first
typing Alt-W to drop down the menu, finding the desired window in the
list, and then typing the single-letter at the left of the menu item.

Windows on this menu will include forms and their running windows when
the Run | Run
Form command is used, any windows created programmatically by
the user in the IDE when the parent arg defaults to
(development-main-window *system*), and some of the standard IDE
dialogs when the usual command for invoking the dialog causes effects
other than simply exposing the dialog. The right-click shortcut menu
on the IDE Background Window (when it is present) continues to list
the windows that are accessible from the Windows menu as well as from
other pull-down menus (especially the View menu), since it is an
alternative to using the menubar altogether.
